Mahabhoj
Written by: Mannu Bhandari
Directed by Balwant Thakur

Adaptation in Dogri: Prof. Ram Nath Shastri

The agricultural labourers of 'SAROHA' bear the brunt of the wrath of their landlord for raising voice against his atrocities. In a gruesome act of arson, their settlements are torched and nine innocent lives are lost. "Beesu", a fiery young man is murdered in a dastardly act and a bold voice is strangulated. The murder of 'Beesu' is sensationalized and every political party is out to earn maximum mileage out of it as elections are round the corner. The Media magnifies this tragedy beyond proportions.

The Chief Minister, Da Sahib, mastermind behind the murder, uses this murder as a weapon to silence his opponents and suppress internal unrest within party ranks. The hurt sentiments of people of 'Saroha' are nursed by installing a Cottage Industry Project, thus, providing employment opportunities. A fresh inquiry is ordered into Beesu's murder. The politics of power plays its dirty game once again and truth becomes a casualty. 'Binda' a friend of Beesu and a crusader, is falsely implicated and arrested.

The play deals both with the hawkish lust of human beings for power and tenacity of human race to stand up courageously against all odds.
